Description

Tandoori Chicken is a classic Indian dish made by marinating chicken with yogurt, lemon juice, and a special blend of aromatic spices, then cooking it in a clay oven (tandoor) or on a grill for a smoky and charred flavor. The dish is recognized for its bright red or orange hue, achieved by using Kashmiri red chili powder or natural food coloring.

  • The chicken is marinated for hours in a spice-infused yogurt mixture to ensure tenderness and deep flavor absorption.
  • It is then slow-cooked in a tandoor (or an oven/grill) until charred, smoky, and juicy.
  • Served hot with mint chutney, lemon wedges, and sliced onions, it is one of the most popular Indian dishes globally.
